Pure Rust bindings to the Github API using Hyper and Serde
This is in no way close to being done for most of the Github API. That being said it's in a somewhat usable state for some things and can be extended to cover other parts of the API easily now that requests and error handling underlying the API are stabilized for now.
Since there are nightly features are being used and because taking the time to get syntex working for stable is a larger undertaking this software only compiles on nightly for now.
github-rs is intended to work on all tier 1 supported Rust systems:
- Windows
- Linux
- MacOSX
You'll need OpenSSL installed on your machine since it's an underlying library that requires it. This is true for all platforms.
- Have a robust API where everything is error handled properly to avoid panics of any kind. A library is the base of an application and should be a solid foundation to be built upon
- Cover all Github stable endpoints. Anything that's deprecated and beta should be obtained only through configuration for those features. As deprecated endpoints are removed from Github so too should they be removed from this library.
- Having stability as part of the API. As such effort will be taken to make sure this code compiles on stable Rust, rather than nightly.
- Ease of use. The complexity should be hidden from those not hacking on the code itself.
- Documentation of everything so not only is it easy to hack on but finding out how to use the library should be easy to find.
- API Reference Docs
- Each of the overarching groupings of the endpoints in the Github documentation have a corresponding .rs file under the src directory. If you wish to add endpoints or modify how one works that would be the place to go to.
- src/types.rs contains all new types and aliased types that are used throughout github-rs.
- src/json.rs contains all of the structures that represent the JSON that are either returned from or sent to the API.
- src/error.rs contains all code related to error handling including types
- src/github.rs contains the client code as well as top level documentation of the library. Most code is publicly reexported here.
- Any new additions must contain corresponding documentation comments explaining their use.
- All endpoint requests must be wrapped in a Result type. The Result type alias we use is located in src/error.rs
- No submitted code may use ok, unwrap or expect.
- Code must be run through rustfmt before submission
- Use cargo clippy to determine if any other errors or lints pop up. cargo build --feature "dev" will build it with clippy
- Code when compiled may not emit warnings unless it's an underlying library imported into github-rs.
